Sirolimus Use in Liver Transplant Recipients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label Phase 3 Trial

Edward K. Geissler, +68 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: This trial provides the first high-level evidence base for selecting immunosuppression in LTx recipients with HCC and reveals that low-risk, rather than high- risk, patients benefited most from sirolimus; furthermore, younger recipients (age ⩽60) also benefited, as well siro Limus monotherapy patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

A polymorphism of the interleukin-1 beta gene influences survival in pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: The possession of a genotype resulting in increased IL-1b production was associated with shortened survival and increased serum CRP level, which may reflect the role of IL- 1b in inducing an acute phase protein response and cachexia in cancer or may be related to changes in tumour phenotye.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of nuclear factor kappa b in crohn's disease

TL;DR: Increased activation in the submucosa of non-inflamed Crohn's disease bowel provides further evidence of early immunological activation in macroscopically and microscopically uninvolved areas and an underlying abnormal immune system in Crohn't disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence against a role for polymorphisms at tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1 and interleukin—1 receptor antagonist gene loci in the regulation of disease severity in acute pancreatitis

TL;DR: Observations suggest that genetic factors are not important in determining TNF-alpha secretion in patients with acute pancreatitis, however, a predetermined imbalance between IL-1beta and its antagonistIL-1RA would appear to exist in Patients with severe acute Pancreatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis and Meta-regression of Survival After Liver Transplantation for Unresectable Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma.

TL;DR: In unresectable pCC, NCR-OLT confers long-term survival in highly selected patients able to complete neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by transplantation, and PSC patients appear to have the most favorable outcomes.
